Contactless Pay As You Go scheme to be introduced at Shepperton train station

Soon you will be able to tap-in and tap-out just as you do on London Underground

Shepperton commuters will be delighted to hear that the Government has revealed Shepperton as one of the 53 commuter town train stations that will soon be able to tap-in and tap-out when travelling.

A Department for Transport (DfT) spokesman said: “Customers will no longer have to worry about planning ahead to get the best prices or fumbling on their phones and wallets to find the right ticket - instead they can use their bank card or smart device to just tap in on the reader knowing they will automatically be guaranteed the best price available on the day of travelling.”

The tech will be installed and ready to use by the end of the year.
